Thee has been al sorts of considerations and who really knows if todays' is the correct one. With some input we just picked a position to be in and it seems to have stood the test of time. As for "quality." Afraid that's a bit too subjective for any real consideration, though I do appreciate and understand where you are coming from. As it is, we are entirely driven by volunteer hours and minutes for the task of Moderating and I just don't know how much more we can stretch that to even assign an overseer of "quality." And beyond that, who really gets the final say in what quality is? At the end of the day, it's our members and it's a bit like what is "art" - you'll know "quality" when you read it. There have been things I have read on FT over the years that have been of tremendous assistance to me, but they sometimes come from a thread that maybe has only 2-3 relies which might signify that the topic wasn't all that valuable to the tens of thousands of other members.

The 90 days is not really about spam, it's to at least point new members in the right direction to appreciating FlyerTalk for what it is intended to be - topics of travel interest to the frequent flyer. If anything, I may argue (perhaps even to myself!) that 90 days is not long enough and that 6 months is better. This topic is too easily transcended into expectations that's not what the core principle is for FlyerTalk, other than an appreciation of all things frequent flyer. If we can do that, then things like CC may and will follow.

Again, thanks for your suggestion and for allowing me a chance to just speak off the top of this little cranium that i have.

Thank you for your support of FlyerTalk.
